Se nourrir en temps de confinement : la vie de quartier à l’épreuve de l’épidémie de coronavirus à Wuhan entre janvier et mars 2020

Abstract

The lockdown of the Wuhanese population in early 2020 to contain the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic raised many challenges. Among others, maintaining a continuity of daily life activities such as food supply was a key concern for the public administration. The remote survey of 155 Wuhanese, supplemented by interviews with local actors, sheds light on how these situations were experienced and shared among residential communities. Through the issue of food supply, this survey highlights the role of the residents' committees and underlines the contribution of digital social networks to neighborhood-level management, both being core characteristics of the contemporary Chinese cities.
